Formscan By Mark Nunan - Plenty of first-time headgear and tongue-ties are being tried in this late-season maiden and BALLINTOGHER, fitted with cheekpieces, gets the vote to make a winning all-weather debut. Having shown plenty of ability on his first three starts at the Curragh, Danny Murphy’s three-year-old was returning from over 200 days off when just failing to get up at Navan. His trainer’s good record at this venue gives cause for optimism that he will be able to translate his turf form to Polytrack. Washington Street has been second four times and now gets a tongue-tie while Woolridge seemed caught for pace over 7f here on Tuesday and is now blinkered. Ex-French La Flute ran well at Fairyhouse and isn’t out of it. %0A
